Hey guys,

I have been taking NOW brand astragalus root extract for a few months to support kidney function. I have read on a few other websites that the NOW brand whole root is better than the extract for kidney support. Is that really the case? Am I missing out on some indirect benefit by taking the extract instead of the whole root?

Thanks!
 
This is one of the few examples where the whole root powder does seem to be better for a particular purpose.

Astragalus can be extracted for many different constituents, and the ones that are better for certain other things aren't necessarily the ones that are better for kidney health.

I researched this a lot when designing Kidney Assist XT, because it's always been my norm to want to use standardized extracts in products and this was an example where the whole root powder was best. I would have loved to have been able to use the extract in it and it would have been a lot less capsules, which would have made it sell better bc of the less capsules, but the whole root powder was best for results.

You can get it multi-packs on the website for a discount! I have 6 more tubs in my cupboard; staple health supplement. Lots of cardiovascular benefits all around, nice dose of curcumin for the joints, etc.

We are temporarily sold out ourselves, but we hope to have it back in stock within a couple weeks.

It's a great product and covers a lot of bases. It has ingredients in it for kidney, liver, cardiovascular support, and more.

I did a quick search and it looks like A1 and Flexit have some in stock at the moment.

As soon as we get it back in stock, DPS has an order in for it and it will ship to them asap.
